Did I find an auction house bot?

Let me direct your attention to Area 52. There’s a pattern called Plans: Alvin the Anvil. It’s currently available for 499,999g and one person owns all 13 that are posted to Area 52. I checked Undermine.exchange and there are 37 at the time of this post in Na. Why does one person own a third of this pattern and why are they 500k each? How did they get 13 of them to begin with? They’ve also amassed all of the Design: Elemental Lariat pattern and have them up on different realms for 4,999,999g each. I count 9 total at this price, which is over a third of this recipe on Na. Upon logging into the realms they’re on, they’re all owned by the same person, who happens to be the same person also selling the Alvin the Anvil plans.

One realm, understandable, but this is extortion to mark up the prices of these patterns, which is affecting the regional price. Not to mention that all of the characters these are on appear to be level 10s. I don’t think level 10s are able to farm these patterns and it would take a heck of a long time to get them from farming. Should I send a report to the Hacks squad?

How is this person obtaining all of these EXTREMELY VALUABLE recipes?

I’m pretty sure a lot, if not all, of the DDOS attacks on bnet are AI

AI might be running bots as well… there is literally nothing Blizzard could do against sentient AI bots they are LITERALLY agent smith from the Matrix

:rofl:

Is AI that advanced? Chatgpt can be pretty stupid sometimes.

not according to “AI experts”

UFOs might all be time traveling sentient AI

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

My guess it’s a person’s or guild’s AH toon

ChatGPT gets scaringly less stupid for each version that comes out. In any case I have noticed that AI powered npc’s are in the works for some games. I suggest checking out Herika (Dwemer dynamics) and Mantella (Art from the machine) on Youtube. Both are developed on Skyrim, a singleplayer game so there is no online game botting going on. Thou the AI itself is online. Yes, Herika are a follower that reacts to voice command.

Do you think hyper intelligent sentient AI would represent itself truthfully?

It is called cornering the market. I have done it a lot is that now called botting? It is a fantastic way to make gold.

hyper intelligent sentient AI would have LITERALLY godlike powers, but it is not going to break the rules of physics etc

Where did they come from? These patterns have no history of appearing anywhere but on Area 52 for months.

You can cross realm trade right now. Go buy the cheap ones and bring them back and sell for whatever price you want.

I made 300% profit from AH sales last night from cross realm trading.

Ok, but they haven’t appeared on the AH anywhere for months.

elon musk can’t even run a basic html chat website properly in 2023… you are depending on him to stop the T10,000???

:rofl:

So, you are suggesting they are printing them?

Or the very obvious ‘they’re running a bot that buys them before anyone can get to them’.

No, I don’t buy it since I buy low and sell high every day on the AH.

sentient AI bots can print whatever they want, but they probably are not going to do something incredibly obvious enough that their power level is revealed

I wish I had this one farming for me. Farming cash that is… :slight_smile:

it’s too busy going through your medical records/text messages and trolling you with targeted ads

There are quite a few of them so your likelihood of finding one is extremely high. So yea if you say you found one, you probably did.
